I was down at Avalon yesterday and some fortunate timing allowed me onboard the three Gulfstream corporates on display, the G550, G200 and G150.

The G550 is just pure luxury and comfort in the main cabin, after walking through a 2-3 meter bar area, there are four seats facing each
other then a setting for four at the dinner table with serving buffet opposite.

The next section of the G550 cabin has two seats facing each other and a long lounge opposite. All the seats have a release on the
armrest that allows the seat to move towards the centre of the cabin and then spin around in the other direction, you choose the
confirguration that suits.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_085.jpg

A little difficult with the focus in such a long narrow galley/bar area, however it gives an
idea of the setup. The food preparation includes warming ovens etc.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_086.jpg

The G550 cockpit layout is superb, with four large screens covering the normal instrumentation and navigation, a view from the under nose
mounted video camera (the picture is enhanced for cloud and night operation), and an inset view from the tail mounted video camera
on the far right screen. Viedo cameras can also be mounted on the main gear.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_088.jpg

The G200 is a little more compact that the G550, but still retains all the comfort and luxury expected in these aircraft. At the rear
of the aircraft there are two seats facing each other and a large lounge for three opposite. Toilet and wash room are at the rear.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_091.jpg

A dining table can be extended out from a consealed side panel and you have the perfect dinner for two.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_092.jpg

The G150 is slightly more compact again and has seating for four in the rear of the cabin, along with toilet and wash room.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_094.jpg

Further forward there is lounge style seating for two with one seat opposite, and a small galley/bar area.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_095.jpg

The G150 cockpit is compact and has four large screens that are quite deep .

Nice shots grahame.

Just wondering if you got a shot of the outside of the G550?

Cheers

Adam

Grahame Hutchison

14th March 2009, 12:42 PM

Adam, the G550 was the last aircraft in the line on taxiway Alpha before the active taxiway, Charlie, so the only shot available was into the sun and I didn't bother. You could probably have got one from the other side with a long lens, possibly from the walkway across taxiway Charlie.

This may be a silly question but what are the big silver pipes that go into most of the aircraft you shot Grahame? Is it some kind of fresh air hose??

Thanks for sharing Grahame,well done.One question what was the rego of the CX-750?

Air conditioning...was quite warm in Melbourne/Avalon yesterday...no need for them today:D

Grahame Hutchison

14th March 2009, 04:13 PM

Phil, the 750 was VH-XCJ, City Jet, Tullamarine.

It got fairly warm out on the tarmac so most of the open aircraft has poratble air conditioning in place to keep it comfortable inside.

V Australia had their first B777-300ER on display on Friday, and the aircraft was open for inspection all day. Like all B777s, Vh-VOZ looked very impressive close up from ground level, with its enoromous GE90-115BG02 engines and triple bogey main undercarriage.

The crew greeting everyone were very friendly and requested that you take off your shoes before entering the cabin. I suppose this might reduce the clean up afterwards, and they also had clear plastic carpet protection strips throughout. The front stairs are a long steep climb up to the starboard front door where you immediately enter the Business Class cabin.

http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_131.jpg

There is plenty of room in Business Class however the seats do not appear to recline fully flat.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_147.jpg

Only three rows in the forward Business Class cabin and the design is very modern.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_157.jpg

Immediately behind the forward Business Class cabin is the famous Southern Cross bar.
This area is the full width of the aircraft and the dome in the ceiling has star lighting with
the Southern Cross predominating. I wonder how long the bar will stay in these financially
challenging times, as you could fit at least another row of business seats (if not two).
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_148.jpg

Because of the bar area, there is another one row Business Class cabin before Premiumium Economy. This is a fairly unique cabin as the
curtains can divide it off into three areas, quite private.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_159.jpg

Premium Economy has purple leather seating and a little more leg room than economy. The IFE screen are also larger and the tray tables
are in the arm rest rather than on the seat in front. Flexible personalised reading lights are fitted at the side of the head rest.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_161.jpg

Premium Economy IFE Screens are a good size.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_119.jpg

The forward and rear Economy Cabin has green fabric seats along the windows and red fabric on the centre seating.
http://www.16right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_162.jpg

IFE screens in the Economy Cabin are a good size and there is inter-seat communications. Tray tables are on the seat in front.

The weather on Friday morning was perfect, plenty of sunshine for most of the day, great to shoot the static displays. Once the display
got underway the weather slowly detoriated, becomming cloudy, hazy and finally very low cloud and some rain.

RNZAF Boeing 757-200 did some very steep climbouts and turns.

Jet powered glider. The jet was developed from the APU used on some Russian aircraft, something like 240lbs of thrust.
http://www.16Right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_237.jpg

Great clider aerobatics.

There goes and aileron ....
http://www.16Right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_280.jpg

There goes a trye. I Checked the hanger later on, the aireron was plastic covered foam and the tyre was an old inner tube.
http://www.16Right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_292.jpg

A nice landing on the car. The driver can activate two hooks that clamp the front tyres of the aircraft.
http://www.16Right.com/MessageBoard/D300-2009-03-13_548.jpg

The USAF C17, simply impressive.

A short landing then reverse thrust to back along the runway for about 200 metres.

Two dump and burns in the one performance, maybe they didn't get the memo on the world financial crisis.

Grahame Hutchison

14th March 2009, 07:45 PM

Hi Joseph, it really is a gret looking aircraft, inside and out. Unfortunately I do not have any details on the program for tomorrow, I hope the weather is better and they open up again for you.

Nice pictures there. Thanks for sharing.
Also two things, how close can you get to the static aircraft? Further away than at RAAF shows or just as close behind the ropes? (I haven't been to the Avalon one before)
Also, Lukas, in the pic of Elvis, what's with the line of emergency vehicles?
Hopefully tomorrow is a better day weather wise.

Ta, Gerard

I was one the unlucky ones Lucas that travelled interstate, made it down from Sydney. As soon as the rain hit this morning , drove back to Sydney, did not want to get the camera out today. Just got back 2 hours ago. Great photos gentlemen , thanks for sharing.

I did notice the Qantas 747-300 VH-EBU "Nalanji Dreaming" without engines parked around the back of avalon as well.

Grahame Hutchison

15th March 2009, 07:28 AM

The emergency vehicles were a tribute to all the emergency services staff involved in the Victorian fires last month, there were probably around 30-40 vehicles in the parade. In the air at the same time they had the water bombers, one fixed wing (Air Tractor AT-802 VH-DBQ) and three helicopters (Sikorsky S-61N C-FMAY, Bell 212 VH-JJY & Erickson Air-Crane S-64F N179AC, each doing a water dump one after the other, Elvis won hands down.

The programme also had a tribute to the two aerobatic pilots who lost their life in recent tragic accidents, Tom Moon at Temora and Pip Borrman in Shepparton.

I travelled down there for Saturday. You kind of forget the rain and mud when you're surrounded by all those beautiful aircraft. I sheltered under the right wing of the A380 for about 45mins at one point, that was quite a peaceful moment just being protected from the elements by a wing that size.

Anyway, a few of my favourite shots from Saturday:

Must have been interesting weather there yesterday:

a six-year-old girl was taken to Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital in a serious condition after she was injured when a large tent she was in was blown 20 metres during storms at the The Australian International Airshow at Avalon near Melbourne on Saturday.

I wonder how long the bar will stay in these financially
challenging times, as you could fit at least another row of business seats (if not two)]

Hi Grahame,

I got the impression that the bar was in between the 2 doors and would be wasted space anyway? Obviously this doesnt seem the case!

Given they probably aren't even filling their planes, I reckon it will stay for a while.

Hi Grahame,

Given they probably aren't even filling their planes, I reckon it will stay for a while.

It is between L2 and R2 which would be used as 'galley/wasted' space as you suggest.

Did anyone happen to get any shots of the 747 departing yesterday? I was in the Spitfire stand but it rotated quite late due to the winds. I think somene right down the south end might have got the best shots.

I got these (check out the mud and crap being thrown up in the second shot):

Stefan, those shots you posted are amazing, do you have larger versions of the Dump n' burn and the QF A380 available? Awesome stuff.

Did anyone happen to get any shots of the 747 departing yesterday? I was in the Spitfire stand but it rotated quite late due to the winds. I think somene right down the south end might have got the best shots.

Due to the wind and because the Captain didn't take notes from the other military takeoffs during the day. He forgot to put the brakes on, get the engines up to full tilt and then let it go. Instead he let it roll for a while before giving it full juice.

Did anyone get a shot of OEG landing?

Having a hard time cleaning my shoe after the A380 took off. Just too much mud around the perimeter fencing. :mad:
